Eggs in a Cloud might be a little hipster, but from all the fancy ways to cook eggs, this is most definitely the easiest one (besides perhaps Italian mini frittatas).
Packed with simple but amazing flavors, requiring little effort and ZERO cooking experience, these Eggs in a Cloud are ready in just 15 min of your time.
All you need to make them is 3 simple ingredients: free-range eggs, chives, and Quorn™ vegetarian bacon.
For this awesome recipe, I've partnered up with Quorn, one of the most established and reliable brands for all the vegetarians out there.
Have you ever tried Quorn bacon rashers? They're flavorful thin stripes of vegetarian awesomeness, smoky and high in protein, a perfect meat-free alternative for a tasty breakfast.

All you have to do is whipping up the egg whites and arrange them like little fluffy clouds on a baking tray.

Delicious.
I will try this for sure
This does look like a pretty dish. I would be worried about trying to get the egg whites right to stick the egg yolks in, but it does look good.
This looks heavenly! I bet my daughter would enjoy eggs in a cloud, as well! Seems like a perfect go-to breakfast option!
Andrea, these look yum. I have never heard of vegetarian bacon!
These are so cute! And sometimes it's great for meat-eaters to take a break and try an alternative.
Looks delicious, but I am wondering if I can replace the vegetarian bacon with actual bacon.
I don't use eggs much, but I'm a vegetarian. I will try this one. Thank you for the recipe.

Never heard of cloudy eggs before but they sound amazing and so easy to prepare! Love the little twist of adding some Quorn bacon 🙂
Really liking the idea to mix flavour ingredients into the egg white cloud, changes it up a lot from the repetitions all over the web. I'm thinking your version totally wins!!
Those cloud eggs look delicious and I love quorn products, not tried the bacon yet, but will look out for it now.
